In November 2021, 14 international travel-related severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant of concern (VOC) patients were detected in South Korea. Epidemiologic investigation revealed community transmission the omicron VOC. A total 80 SARS-CoV-2 VOC-positive identified until December 10, 2021 and 66 them reported no relation to travel. There may be more transmissions with this VOC Korea than reported.
Over the past decade, nanofluidic diodes that rectify ionic currents (i.e. greater current in one direction than opposite direction) have drawn significant attention biomolecular sensing, switching and energy harvesting devices. To obtain rectification, conventional utilized complex nanoscale asymmetry such as nanochannel geometry, surface charge density, reservoir concentration. Avoiding use of sophisticated nano-asymmetry, micro/nanofluidic using microscale been recently introduced;...
